Pooches: Miss M's Cone Fashion Show

Since this happened, we have been lucky enough to never have our pups in a cone for an extended amount of time.
We've learned not all cones are the same.
Miss M wanted to find the one that was just right.
She tried this floppy one:

Miss M would gladly stretch out her neck out for what she thought was an exotic, fancy collar:

But I think she really liked how this inner-tube cone meant she always had a pillow handy:

Which has caused fun hijinks around our place. Like how I will be sitting next to her, but out of her vision, and if I call her name she will go running in the other direction down the hall:

Though I think Miss M really appreciates how the cone really does accentuate her 'beautiful features'. Even when her 'mouth is full'.

The good news is she just got her stitches out and she is healing nicely.

I think she secretly misses her pillow.

Though we did find out that she was misdiagnosed and it really was a tumor. They believe they got most of it out, but now we are doing nightly pet-checks (just like nightly tick checks for anyone who went to camp) so we can catch any bumps that might re-emerge.

Bender just had his lumps checked and they turned out to be of the fatty variety. We have a watching brief now though the vet said not to do it every week or it would drive us crazy. She knows how diligent we are with him now that he is middle aged :/

All cones are not equal, indeed! I still feel like there is a 2.0 version waiting to be invented! Until then, Miss M is rockin it well. Boo to the tumor but thankfully she has awesome parents willing to go broke for her!!!
